Trump organization to go budget friendly with ‘American Idea’ hotel chain

[james_1957]

On the campaign trail, President Trump’s children rolled through dozens of small towns across the country, reveling in the adoration of the crowds. But they were less enamored of the budget-friendly hotels along the way, an assortment of run-of-the-mill offerings that were barely distinguishable from one another.

That led to a business idea.

On Monday, the Trump Organization announced plans for a new three-star hotel chain with a patriotic flair, echoing President Trump’s campaign slogan about putting America first and reflecting the organization’s promise to enter into new deals only in the United States. The intention is to differentiate the chain, called American Idea, by featuring artifacts of American culture in the hotels, such as an old Coca-Cola machine in the lobby or American-made sundries in the rooms.

Eric Danziger, the chief executive of the Trump Organization’s hotels division, said in an interview that the company had planned a hotel expansion for nearly two years, apart from the Trump campaign. During the campaign, the Trump children would report back about the thousands of supporters attending rallies and what they saw as a chance to build a line of hotels standing out from the cookie-cutter options in midsize and small cities.

I just stayed at a fine hotel on Capitol Hill...

[$200+ per night]


Trust me, it has nothing on the Drury Suites. Drury gobsmacks them when it comes to the continental breakfast and room size. Maybe the Trumps needed to ask around with the "deplorables" that they claim to represent.

Plus the Drury is not PC GREEN and will give you clean sheets every day.

…Italian bed linens, French table linens, Chinese duvet, Korean TV and, yes, Mexican tequila ($14 for a shot of Patrón Silver) in the minibar, er, “private bar,”…

In my room, I found a Trump logo bathmat and towels from India, bone china from Japan, Italian cutlery and tiles, two telephones from Malaysia, a Swiss refrigerator, German coffee cups, Trump soaps and lotions from Canada and, from China, all four lamps, the coffee machine, the bathroom scale, the valet stand and the shower cap. The hotel’s managing director is from France. Most hotel workers I met during my stay had Caribbean or African accents.

Once you learn the definition of that word, please teach your idiot protegé. He has no idea what it means or how to her it either.

Wow, AJ sure knows the big words. I might have to take him off Ignore.

I'm a simple Motel 6 and Econo Lodge kind of guy myself. Just clean sheets, a shower, and toilet for me. Not like I'm moving in.

I loved the last Econo Lodge I stayed at to attend a wedding and a family reunion. Only $35 per night plus $10 for my little doggie. $20 per day for the car rental. Pays to plan ahead.

He should have kept the beard. Or at least the mustache.

Not me.

Nothing less than a suite...

If I cannot afford that, then I need to be staying home and saving my money that way.

What would you expect from the person who said it was Hillary Clinton's fault he used Chinese steel in his construction projects?

Then, of course, there's this part of his "Hire American" plan.
